Some Random Thoughts…
I seriously don’t know what the curse is… if any of you have a name for it, please inform me. I need to know what offering I must give up to appease the military gods! Here’s the deal…
Every single time my husband leaves to do anything military related, whether it be for a day or for months, there is always some freaky catastrophe that happens. I can almost count down to when the roof will cave in as soon as he gets the call.
Bryan headed out to meet his Reserve unit this weekend. They wanted him to meet the guys and hang out for a day - this is the unit he will be joining when he finishes his AIT and takes his DC after that.
The last time he went to meet the CO of this unit, it was an unusually freezing cold day before the holidays. The minute he left, the heater stopped working! I kid you not. Yesterday when I got up out of bed I realized I could not walk a straight line. I did not drink too much wine the night before — no this was a full blow flare up of the Ménière’s Disease that I have suffered with for the past few years. The flare ups are sudden, unpredictable and vary in severity. Great. Thanks.
When he first left for Ft. Benning, the very day he left, as a matter of fact, Emma came down with her first ever ear infection that night and stayed sick for a week.What’s up with that?
If any of you know a cure for this disease, other than leaving the military, please post a remedy. I am dreading when he leaves for his AIT. I just know the septic tank bed will collapse, or the garage door will fail while closed and we won’t get it open, or all of the vinyl siding on the house will fall off all at once.

Hit a big lotto, buy a new house with everything under warranty, and hire a live-in nurse for when he’s away.

I wish I had a cure! I would give it to you if I did - !

I’m bracing for his next training date! I may move out of my house for the first night and go to a Holiday Inn.
